SOTD/ FEB.29th

 

Today's shave:
Gillette travel tech head on Stirling fat stainless handle
Stirling mountain man
Nivea creme for men for a little pre shave slickness
GSB (2)
Stirling synthetic brush

So I think I need to just do a reverse xtg on my upper lip. I'm consistently getting weepers on the corners. Every where else went great ATG besides a tiny spot on my jaw line. One of my usually tough spots. My 30 focus rule with the new handle on my razor is definitely helping with my technique. The mountain man soap is def my favorite non-menthol soap I've smelled or used. Beautiful slickness and awesome lather. Tomorrow is going to be max menthol day. Going to try a lather with MITA and frozen tundra with a splash of mentholated stetson

 

Prep - Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Gillette Slim Adjustable
Blade - Personna Lab Blue (#2)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Truefitt & Hill 1805
After - Frozen towel / Brylcreem Adventure A/S
Result - Dolphin Smooth

Although a committed tallow fan, I have to say that I'm really enjoying the dalliance with creams of late. The T&H is certainly a top notch performer, a great post shave feel.

 

Another perfect shave with my B1 repeating razor. Have a great day everyone!

 

Beautiful Primo!

 

Mike, how are you liking your Maggard brush?

 

My razor should be here Thursday!

 

Great brush, it's big enough and lathers well. Some backbone but not too much, I only face lather and this brush works great for that. I recommend it especially at the price. And it looks good!

 

It's a beautiful brush. My Semogue 620 should be here tomorrow, very excited!

 

Tuesday's


TESC Pre-Shave Oil
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #49 Boar
Pal Adjustable
Schick Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #49 boar brush. Two passes with my Pal Adjustable razor and a Schick Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tuesday morning's chill thrill:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26 mm Synthetic
Junjie/Astra day 2
Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Osage Rub AS
Old Spice Cologne

I'm in love with my new Plissoft Synthetic, I'm starting to enjoy this new Junjie DE, and I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my MITA soap - its scent is so beautiful, its lather is so much fun to whip up, and its menthol effect is brilliant as well its skincare being wonderful. The Gold Bond is such a good soother with a nice cooling effect, and that Rubby Dubby Doo is such an awesome iceberg!
